Hey Rocksummit, how are things working out for you? If you're OK with it, I could help out as well.
I'll look into it after getting home from work tonight.

[Rocksummit]

Ok, let's get this done!

Strange to see that Swedish translations are needed as we are best at english of all countries not having it as native tongue.

Needed is a strong word, especially given the previous (current) state of the Swedish translation. Noone understanding only Swedish would be able to (proficiently) play the game right now.
In my eyes, since Tynan is providing the option, and it's being shipped with the game, it might as well be a good representation of Swedish

Hey folks!
I'd like to help too! I looked over some of the translations briefly and there are quite a few minor spelling mistakes that just made my fingers itchy. So I mailed support for some access to the Swedish repository.
But I think as translators we really need to unify and talk things over. I noticed that some words, like 'colonist' have been translated to both 'kolonisatör' and 'kolonist' and the names of all the different professions, skills etc. need to be the exact same. Since a lot of words can be translated to several different words in Swedish, it shouldn't be hard to agree to and settle on using the same word, for example 'kolonist'. We want to make this look like it's translated by pros, right?

I looked at the previous translations yesterday and noticed that a lot of them seemed to be free interpretations of the original texts, swaying off a bit from the English text. So I've tried to translate as close as possible to the original texts, without it becoming something that looks weird or unnatural when reading i out loud in Swedish. By the way, is there any standard for how we should log our activities in the description of the commits? I looked at squid-box's stuff, and he's been describing every little change he has done, it was easy to follow his work, so I should probably do that too from now on.

Hi

I would also like to help out bringing the swedish translation up to speed.
What is priority and is there any subpart that i can focus on?

[bohlin]

Ok the response was'nt that big so i will just start with all the Keyed and make sure that all those are translated. I have also done the DefInjected\FactionDef. i have reqested access to the google excel document and i guess thats a good start to keep up notes on whats done and whats needed. One other option could be to use the github site for updates.

[Hezkore]

I'd like to help out if I may.
Mainly just fixing some typos I've found throughout the game.

Welcome to the team

You will have to contact Tynan for access to the Github.  I think the latest version is for A17 so all the new stuff for A18 need to be fixed

[Tynan]

Hey there's a new translation tool in the public unstable version of the game that will make translating much easier.

Please read about it here:

Hello!
New to the forum. Not at all new to the game.
Do you need one more translating to Swedish?
